Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 20 - 21; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 19; Vertebrae: 35. This species is moderately-sized and with the following characters: moderately elongated body (4.4-5.1 depth in SL); slightly depressed bulbous heed; fleshy lips; posterodorsal corner of maxillary slips into a cheek pouch; nasal, orbital and nuchal cirri small and fimbriate; no scales on breast and belly; scales are membranously expanded posteriorly to form pockets; spinous dorsal fin rays, compared to its soft rays are nearly level, lower and less numerous; only one anal fin spine; interradial membrane of anal fin incised almost up to the base of each ray; unbranched fin rays; convex cornea, eyeball with no vertical bar and heavy pigmentation; conical, stout and slightly recurved teeth; medial teeth of dentary larger than the lateral ones; with vomerine teeth, non on palatine (Ref. 75634).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
